    "IDX" stand for:

    • Intermingled Data Transfer

    • Internet Data Exchange

    • Information Daily Exchange

    • Internet Data Transfer

    Correct Answer
    A. Internet Data Exchange
    Explanation
    IDX stands for Internet Data Exchange. This term is commonly used in the real estate industry to refer to a system that allows real estate professionals to share and access property listing information from multiple sources. This system enables efficient and standardized data transfer between different real estate databases, making it easier for agents and brokers to collaborate and provide accurate and up-to-date information to their clients.

    Listing importation from the MLS is automatic when you have IDX enabled.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because having IDX (Internet Data Exchange) enabled does not automatically result in the automatic listing importation from the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). IDX allows real estate professionals to display MLS listings on their websites, but it does not automatically import the listings. The importation process requires additional steps and configurations to be set up.

This means that they can showcase their property listings from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) on their XSite, which is a website platform designed specifically for real estate professionals. This feature allows agents/brokers to effectively market and promote their listings to potential buyers.
